I hope this project doesn’t become a playground for LLMs to train working in different environments. I was just thinking, a few days ago, that the claims of Mythos are being overstated but probably don’t need to be… if you could train in countless OSs with access to all the CVEs.
Or as I'd like to call it, a virtu-OS-o. Hi, I've been dad. Thank you for listening.
Back in the mid 90s i wasn't able to afford windows so i was using Geos (later renamed to 'New Deal Office'). Its what actually made me gravitate to Linux because one of my colleagues was surprised i wasn't using Windows. He was a huge Linux fan and recommended i try it.
TIL there was a 16-bit follow up to GEOS
Added to my seed box will seed for as long as it keeps getting traffic. 10Gbps upload of both versions. Honestly this will most likely be torn apart, reduced or removed soon. I will turn around and upload it to a few other private trackers to keep it alive.
Same but I'll forget about it and therefore seed indefinitely
No Hannah montana Linux. 0/10.
At least it has TempleOS.
Seem like major oversight
Awesome project, but I fear it will be taken down for legal reasons sadly.
If you want it, get it now - 121 gb.
The full edition includes everything pre-downloaded and can be used fully offline, whereas the lite edition is much smaller and doesn’t include any disk/tape/etc. images for installations, downloading them the first time an installation is run (which means an internet connection is required to run an installation that hasn’t yet been downloaded). The same guest VM installations are available in both editions, and both editions update packages from the same underlying repository.
Lite Edition: 14GB zipped, 21GB unzipped
For anyone who can't just download 121GB in one go
121 gig download fyi
I thought it said 170. But that’s the full version. 20GB for the shell & OS’es d/l a la carte.
That's decompressed, so you'll actually need near 300 gigs of free space.
It's a big download but honestly 500 gig drives are really easy to find, often free.
BeOS?
I love Haiku, would probably still be running it if I hadn't run into a brick wall for using a second screen from my laptop
So i can finally see screenshots of those weird ass Unix variants and CDE??? Hell yeah!
